Ohio's minimum wage has gone up 10 cents to start the year. As of January 1st, the state minimum wage will go to $8.80 per hour for non-tipped employees and tipped employees will get $4.40 an hour. Employees under 16 years old will still get the federal minimum wage of $7.25.
An Ohio constitutional amendment ties minimum wage increases to the rate of inflation. Since it was enacted in 2007, the minimum wage in the state has gone up nearly $2 per hour.
